Recombinant Mouse LIX (CXCL5) (E. coli)

Description

Epithelial neutrophil- activating protein 78 ENA-78 is a member of the CXC chemokines and acts as a potent chemoattractant and activator of neutrophil function. On stimulation in vitro, ENA-78 is highly expressed in many cell types. ENA-78 protein levels are strongly elevated in synovial fluid and blood of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. By in situ hybridization and immunofluorescence staining, ENA-78 has been recognized as a major CXC chemokine expressed in epithelial cells of the intestinal mucosa of patients with Crohns disease, ulcerative colitis, and acute appendicitis.
